COLMAR, Pa., May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorman Products, Inc. (the “Company” or “Dorman”) (NASDAQ: DORM), a leading supplier in the motor vehicle aftermarket industry, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 30, 2024.

Kevin Olsen, Dorman’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We’re pleased with our first quarter results and the strong start to the year driven by the hard work and dedication of our Contributors. Our focus on delivering new and innovative products continues to be a winning formula for our customers and our shareholders. Through our strong financial results, we generated $52 million of cash from operating activities, a 98% improvement year-over-year, which we used to repay $15 million of debt and return $27 million to shareholders through the repurchase of our stock.

“Our results were in line with our expectations, as Light Duty industry fundamentals remained strong while the Heavy Duty and Specialty Vehicle industries experienced softness. I’m confident that our ongoing initiatives and our team of dedicated Contributors will enable us to navigate industry challenges and continue to drive success.”

First Quarter Financial Results
The Company reported first quarter 2024 net sales of $468.7 million, up slightly compared to net sales of $466.7 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $127.0 million, or 27.1% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $126.4 million, or 27.1% of net sales, for the same quarter last year. Adjusted SG&A expenses* were $116.5 million, or 24.9% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $117.4 million, or 25.2% of net sales, in the same quarter last year.

This guidance assumes a tax rate of 24%, includes the impact of a previously announced reduction in workforce, and excludes any potential impacts from future acquisitions and divestitures, supply chain disruptions, significant inflation and interest rate changes, and share repurchases.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(in thousands, except per-share amounts)
  
Our financial results include certain financial measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for GAAP measures, or considered in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position or cash flows. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. However, we have presented these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe this presentation, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, provides useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing our results, profitability trends, and underlying growth relative to prior and future periods and to our peers. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. Non-GAAP financial measures may reflect adjustments for charges such as fair value adjustments, amortization, transaction costs, severance, accelerated depreciation, and other similar expenses related to acquisitions as well as other items that we believe are not related to our ongoing performance.

Such costs were $5.4 million pretax (or $4.1 million after tax) during the three months ended April 1, 2023.

[3] – Pretax executive transition service expenses represents an accrual for costs required to be paid under an agreement in connection with the planned transition of our Executive Chairman to Non-Executive Chairman, and other professional services rendered in connection with the execution of the agreement.
